The Lending Group Limited offers copy trading. I copied a top trader. The copy trades often executed at worse prices than the original. When I asked why they said it was due to latency and liquidity. So the feature is broken or they are skimming. Either way I stopped using it.
Pros: Great customer service|Fast deposits|Social trading features
Cons: Nothing significant|Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
The onboarding at The Lending Group Limited was smooth which makes the subsequent experience even more frustrating. Once they have your money, the quality of service drops dramatically. Getting anyone to help you with an actual problem is nearly impossible.
Pros: Easy to use platform|Educational resources|Portfolio tracking tools|Tax reports included
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists|Minor UI glitches occasionally
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. The Lending Group Limited recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Easy to use platform|Educational resources|Multi-device support|Instant funding
Cons: No live chat on mobile
After spending for about eight months trying to make The Lending Group Limited work for me, I have given up. The platform has too many limitations, the fees are not competitive, and the quality of their market data is questionable. There are much better options available.
Pros: Detailed reporting|Segregated accounts|Fast support response
Cons: None so far|Onboarding videos are outdated
I invested $25,000 with The Lending Group Limited after seeing their professional-looking website. At first, everything seemed fine - they showed me impressive returns on my dashboard. But when I tried to withdraw, they kept making excuses. First it was "processing time," then "verification needed," then "you need to pay a tax fee first." I never got my money back. I have since reported them to Financial Conduct Authority.
Cons: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at The Lending Group Limited is truly awful. I waited weeks for a response to a simple inquiry. When they did respond, it felt like a generic template that did not address my specific issue at all.
Pros: Copy trading available|Demo account available
Cons: No live chat on mobile|Onboarding videos are outdated
The Lending Group Limited advertises low fees but once you dig into the fine print, there are numerous charges that add up quickly. Inactivity fees, withdrawal fees, currency conversion fees - it all eats into your returns. I wish I had read the terms more carefully.
Pros: Fast support response|Responsive team|Real-time alerts|Good analytical tools
Cons: Search feature is basic
If you are reading this considering The Lending Group Limited - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews after seeing their ad online. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over for close to eighteen months has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Fast execution|Intuitive for beginners|Multiple order types
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months|Research section could be deeper
After seeing ads for The Lending Group Limited online, I investigated. The company is listed in the IOSCO I-SCAN warnings database and has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority. Their website looks professional but that means nothing - many scam operations invest heavily in appearance. Always check the regulatory warnings before investing.
Cons: Unauthorized firm|Found in IOSCO warnings database
